Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest refers to any situation that may influence—or be perceived to influence—the impartiality of the peer-review process, editorial decision-making, or the publication of articles in the Nature-Nurture Journal of Psychology (NNJP). Conflicts may arise from personal, financial, or professional relationships that could affect objectivity.

All authors, as well as editorial board members, are required to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest during manuscript submission or upon accepting editorial or review assignments.

To promote transparency, NNJP makes the names of handling editors and reviewers publicly available upon publication of articles, allowing potential conflicts to be readily identified.

Failure to disclose competing interests may result in rejection of the manuscript. If an undisclosed conflict is identified after publication, NNJP will take appropriate corrective action following its internal policies and the COPE guidelines.

Authors must declare conflicts of interest in the designated section during submission. A conflict of interest statement will be automatically generated and included in both the peer-review PDF and the final published version of the article.
